River Place is a country club community on Lake Austin, about 20 minutes from downtown, spread across 1,440 acres of steep hills framing the lake, with close to 1,000 homes total. Search the current River Place listings below, and reach out if you’d like my take on any of them.

Location and boundaries
River Place has an Austin mailing address but sits along FM 2222 west of Loop 360, bordering Lake Austin. It’s a hillside community built into the terrain, which is part of what gives so many homes here real lake or hill country views.
Schools
Even though it carries an Austin address, River Place is zoned to Leander ISD, with kids attending River Place Elementary, Four Points Middle School, and Vandegrift High School, so it’s worth knowing that before assuming Austin ISD boundaries apply.
Amenities
The River Place Country Club anchors the community with a private golf course, tennis courts, a pool, and a clubhouse. Beyond the club, the River Place Nature Trail follows Panther Creek and is one of the better hiking and birdwatching spots in the area, with a boardwalk that wraps the nature pond and connects out toward Lake Austin.
Housing options in River Place
Homes here sit on larger, often heavily wooded lots shaped by the hillside terrain, and you’ll find everything from established homes built when the community first developed to newer custom construction on the remaining lots. Because of the topography, views vary a lot from lot to lot. Some homes look out over the lake or the hills, others are more tucked into the trees, so it’s worth seeing a property in person before deciding what you’re getting.
